Framing your Eyes in Shadows; Eye Shadows Prize

May 14, 2015

Have you ever heard that, “Eyes are the Windows to the Soul?”

I think that eyes are like jewels. Some extraordinary jewels are set in simple unassuming settings others in ornate and intricate settings.

Whether you are looking to simply to frame your eyes with a simple curtain of sable lashes or want to let the artist is you create a many-hued backdrop you can use eye shadow as your palette.

There are so many type of eye shadows on the market today and a variety of colors, quality, and formulas. Some are cream based, a fine powder, a chunky glitter, and the standard pressed shadow. I’ve tried all of them and two things matter to me. How long they stay on, and if the color is right for the look I’m trying to achieve.

For most of us we need a quick routine that makes our eyes look bigger and showcases the beautiful color of your eyes. For most of us that’s a neutral look.

Here is a good tutorial on how to achieve a Natural Bright Eye look.

Black Smoky Eye is great for a party. If black is too dark for you a classic deep brown would look great! Or try the One Minute Smokey Eye when you are in a hurry.

Try your favorite pressed eye shadow with a wet brush for a deeper longer lasting look. Or pick up a new fun color for a special occasion. Maybelline Color Tattoo have many fun colors and even metallic shades.

I did a blog a few months ago for glittery eye shadows. Check out the Glittery Eye Make Up. There are some fun videos and ideas.

Some of my favorite eye shadows come from Urban Decay because they are good quality and last a long time on my eyelids. I love the Naked 2, Naked 2 Basics, Naked On The Run, and the discontinued Urban Decay Shattered Palette. The Naked 2 has every neutral color you will ever need in one thin package, Naked 2 Basics are matte colors and I love matte, Naked on the Run is my new travel pack with everything I need in one case. The Urban Decay Shattered palette has more color option and neutral ready to travel. They are my every day go to eye shadows.

I have two eye shadow pallets available to win. One that is perfect to creating that natural look and the other is a little more fun with more vibrant colors. Good luck!

I'm Shara, a wife, mother, bargain shopper, and I love to critique everything from food to mascara. I'm a sister of Colleen who lives in the desert of Arizona. My favorite time of day is when I pretend my kids are asleep upstairs, and I can catch up on my favorite shows with my handsome husband. Once Upon a Time, Dr. Who, Mythbusters (husband's choice), Big Bang Theory, Sherlock, and Castle. I turned 40 but feel around 30ish, and wonder where the time has gone. I love new clothes, new make-up, new food, and anything new to try out and critique. It's not mean, I promise, I just really like to figure out how to make things better :-)
